What is the difference between malai paneer and paneer?

What is the difference between paneer and malai paneer? My wife asked me to buy paneer. In the shop I saw malai paneer and bought it. Are they the same?

Paneer melts like Mozzarella cheese in my curry

When I make my paneer and store it, it is firm and I am able to cut it into cubes. But when I add it to a curry sauce at the end or when I try to shallow fry it, it melts like Moz. I make it with whole milk and curdle with vinegar. Any tips? Thanks!
